Am I missing something? The school my kids attended always took the Fitness Test... My kids attend FCPS, so they always did the mile, and the push ups test, and the pager. Am I missing something? I understand is now going by a different name but its pretty much the same thing..
Is he trying to pretend he did something? https://www.axios.com/2025/07/31/trump-revives-presidential-fitness-test-public-schools |

| I have kids in elementary and they have not done it. I also hated the stupid fitness test as a kid because yes I was unathletic and sucked at it. I still grew up to be a healthy adult who works out several times a week and is slimmer than the athletic kids who grew up and gained a lot of weight. |

| Obama eliminated that in 2013 or so. It wasn't fair. |

| Also have kids in FCPS and yes they do a fitness test under a different name - I believe it is the PACER test. I have one kid who hates it and one who finds it “easy” and yes it just seems like a different version of the “presidential” test I had as a kid. Given it seems a difference in name only I’d say yes this is fixing an issue that doesn’t exist in my community. |

| Those tests were so stupid. Not surprised that Bone Spurs is bringing them back. |

| That test has been gone for a while. Kids don't even have to show up wearing sneakers anymore. We are in a majority low income FCPS ES. |

| You sound unhinged, OP. Proof read. Spell correctly. Don't repeat yourself. And know that individual schools can do whatever they want. We're in MCPS, and some of the schools have fitness tests, others don't. It depends on the grade and the teacher. |

This, eliminated by Obama in 2013, Trump is now bringing it back. |

The irony here is that Trump would never pass his own fitness test. |

But he would pass a Physicsl Fitnss Test! |

And now Trump is restoring it. For this action, I applaud him. |

| I didn’t know it was eliminated. My kids called about doing the pacer in PE every year in FCPS and it sounded like the same thing. |
